In one embodiment of the present invention, an object of the invention is
to provide a wireless communication-improving sheet member capable of
increasing a possible communication distance of an IC tag for wireless
communication, a wireless IC tag, an antenna, and a wireless
communication system. A first spacer includes an arrangement face on
which on which the wireless IC tag is disposed without a wired
connection, and an auxiliary antenna is disposed on the first spacer on
an opposite side to the arrangement face, the auxiliary antenna
resonating with electromagnetic waves used in the wireless communication.
The auxiliary antenna includes a first conductor layer as a resonant
layer and a second spacer. The second spacer is disposed on an opposite
side to the first spacer with the first conductor layer interposed
therebetween. A discontinuous area is disposed in the first conductor
layer of the auxiliary antenna. Thus, it is possible to not only
eliminate influence of a communication-jamming member, but also increase
received electrical power of a wireless IC tag (antenna), and ensure a
long communication distance.
